The Vent: Human Performance Center

Fantastic experience: My husband and I started working out at The Vent after our daughters invited to a free class. We joined a group called, “Legends.” It’s a perfect pace for our age group and we feel challenged after each CrossFit class. I am surprised at how much fun we have and the friendships we are making. There is no judging, mirrors, or any other deterrent that would hinder our performance. Best of all, I have gotten much stronger and am proud of how my body looks and feels. I love the Vent so much that I just added a 3 day to my weekly workouts.

Fantastic experience: PART 2: did i mention this place is clean, holiday decorations are off the hizzy, the outdoor space is AMAZING (sun AND heavy lifting? I'M IN!) and they even have a fitness and movement education LIBRARY!!! where else can you read Supple Leopard and actually DO the assessments?? NOT at Barnes and Noble. Probably not at the library, either. also! the Vent has the most awesome collection of equipment. i am literally a kid in a candy store while i'm there. mobility tools, trap bars...bands, peanuts, maces, it's cray. in the best way. love the Vent HPC!

Fantastic experience: Everything about The Vent is awesome! From the facilities, which are clean and organized, to the ever changing workouts and programming, to the people who are part of this community to the amazingly awesome owner and incredible coaches. This is the place to go and get going on your journey to a healthier stronger you.

Fantastic experience: This gym is a game-changer! My boyfriend and I were looking for a place where we could work out together. We found out about the Vent after a friend recommended it to us. It is the perfect mixture of what we were looking for- a hard work out, education and community. The staff is not only friendly but also incredibly knowledgeable. They prioritize safety and take the time to teach proper form, which has significantly improved my workout experience. The classes are always different, and each one leaves me feeling energized and accomplished. I’ve seen noticeable improvements in my fitness since joining, and I couldn’t be happier. 10/10!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to The Vent for 3 months now and all I can say is Thank you!!! Your staff are awesome!!! There have great, and sometimes exhausting workouts. I am very pleased with the professionalism of the staff and the community that is created by them. I am glad to be a part of this community of likeminded people who take their health seriously.

Fantastic experience: Update. I'm now turning 63 and amazed at the perfect fit the Vents, Legends class has been for me. I've had multiple physical setbacks in the last 1.5 years, but I haven't had to stop doing CrossFit. The coaches are aware of my limits and show me variations that continue to challenge me. I highly recommend these well educated coaches & their Legends class for those over 55. I'm over 55 and can't believe what I have achieved in strength and stamina over last 10 months. I was hesitant to try CrossFit until I learned how dedicated the Vent coaches are to educating every individual on technique & mobility. We just completed a strength/stamina program & I underestimated how much improvement I personally could achieve. THANKS Vent coaches for your dedication to your community

Fantastic experience: I love this gym! Come for the Crossfit - Stay for the Mobility!!! What's different about this gym is the community and the coaches. They connect with the members and really understand how to coach vs. bark orders. They build in mobility exercises before and after each class. They offer 'wrap around' fitness services like nutritional guidance, body fat % testing (3rd party), running coaching or other specific skill based training 1-on-1. I also have made a bunch of friends here through classes or parties and events that they host. People tend to stay here and I will too.

Fantastic experience: The Vent's approach has been great. It's just what I've been looking for!

Fantastic experience: Back in 2019, I was looking to get back in to fitness and started researching local CrossFit gyms in the area. In a physical and mental rut, I needed to get my life back on track after nursing school. From the second I walked in the door and met Bree, I knew this was a special place. I have been a member at The Vent since November of 2019, and no matter where I've been in my fitness journey, The Vent has always been there for me 100% of the way. Whether I was in my once every other week attendance phase or coming 4-5 times a week, the family at The Vent has always welcomed me. Staffed with kind, creative, and compassionate coaches - they are always willing and prepared to help you find your level of fitness and a scale that will allow you to participate in workouts to the best of your abilities (and give you a little push when they know you've got more in you!). They are true coaches, constantly observing form to make sure you are completing movements correctly to help avoid injury - they truly have both your mental and physical wellness in mind. If they don't see you at your usual workout intervals - they WILL text you to check on you and make sure you're ok! Got an injury? They're ready to help you work through it; whether with active recovery directed by the coaches or with their in house Physical Therapists, they are always ready to get you back to your 100% safely. I had knee pain for weeks that was so bad it impacted my sleep; once I let Coach Tyler know I was having this painful issue, he worked with me on stretches and mobility/active recovery geared towards my specific injury that quickly got me back to 100% and has kept me there for over a year. Not only is the gym staffed with incredible coaches, it is also bursting at the seams with amazing humans ready to cheer you on and be there for you. I've made countless friends here and it truly is a family. With the friends and excellent coaching staff I have grown to know and love at The Vent, I've done things I never thought I would be capable of and I can't wait to see what I accomplish with their help, guidance, and comradery in the future. The Vent is TRULY second to none. Go check them out!

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend The Vent. The coaches are all so friendlily and caring. They have a wide range of classes. The facility is clean. Very supportive and inclusive gym.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend The Vent! The staff and members are very welcoming and the atmosphere is positive and supportive to all. Courtney is a terrific coach for our Legend classes and my personal strength and flexibility has improved a great deal over the past 18 months. As a bonus, my cholesterol has dropped 30 points , blood pressure has improved and lost some pounds as well. Great team, great environment and super professional coaching!

Fantastic experience: If I could give The Vent all the stars in the sky I would! The Vent: Human Performance Center has been my home gym since 2017, and I’m immensely grateful for this community and family! Bree and the Vent coaches have gathered together the best humans in Ventura county who all share a common goal: never stop growing to be their best and strongest selves, mentally and physically, in and out of the gym. On the days where it’s hard to stay motivated to put the work in, at 5am I’m surrounded by an amazing team of coaches and athletes showing up for ourselves and for one another, and make each other better every day. I have learned so much from my 7 years at The Vent and am STILL continually inspired and educated by this hardworking community and top tier coaching staff. Through some of the busiest life seasons, the Vent has helped me stay motivated and dedicated to my health and feel the strongest I’ve felt in my life. The coaches are superiorly knowledgeable and genuinely caring, and are what makes this gym stand out among the rest. The workouts are extremely well rounded to build strong, powerful, and skilled, athletes - no matter what your sport(s) or activity outside of the gym, you’ll come at those as a way stronger and robust human. This is the spot.

Fantastic experience: Bree and the team are fantastic and very supportive. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been with the vent for a few weeks now and I can honestly say that it has one of the best gym communities in this area! The coaches are all friendly/motivating and the gym members are great! Definitely come check out the vent

Fantastic experience: Great coaches. Great community. Great gym. When I started, I was skeptical that I would ever do many of the movements and activities of the workouts. I figured my body was permanently limited after 25 years of back and leg injuries. But in less than a year, the coaches helped me to build strength and improve mobility, and I can actually do most of the movements I was skeptical of, I have way less everyday pain, and most importantly, I can do activities with family and friends and not worry about hurting myself.

Fantastic experience: Bree is the best

Fantastic experience: Coaches are great and the community is fun and amazing! Great people and friends

Fantastic experience: Feels like a custom experience without the private trainer prices. Everyone is super supportive and welcoming. Doesn't matter your workout level, there is a place for you.

Fantastic experience: I have never had a gym membership before starting at The Vent...I wish I would have started coming here sooner. The coaches and clients are amazing.

Fantastic experience: What I like about the Vent, is that the instructors will show patience with instructing. They will actually work with you on working properly on technique and performance. I've been with Bree and the Vent over seven years. I'm 72 years old and feel great.

Fantastic experience: The Vent has the best training. Owner Bree, coaches, Tyler, A.J., Liz, Courtney and Mel. All coaches are patient, knowledgeable and create the warmest community. They are not only coaches but friends. This gym community has so much to offer those individuals who have injuries and need modifications. The Vent is Quality coaching! Contact Bree for any questions.

Fantastic experience: Love this place and the whole community there

Fantastic experience: I never went to the gym regularly before my time at The Vent, so I was intimidated to say the least. 4 months in and I couldn't have made a better choice. Great coaches, great community, and welcoming to all skill levels. Already seeing progress and excited for what's to come! If you're thinking about it, I would highly recommend The Vent to anyone in the Ventura area

Fantastic experience: I have been going to the Vent for a few months, as recommended by a good friend. I admit I was nervous about getting involved in weightlifting and this style of training. But now I’m addicted! I am super happy with the strength program and the coaching. I really like that the coaches know how to modify workouts and provide corrective feedback to ensure that I am doing everything the right way. It's helped me feel confident to push myself and push the weight that I’m lifting. I'm also really happy with the additional support from the nutritional coach. Just high quality coaching all around and supportive community.

Fantastic experience: I love The Vent because the coaches are so wonderful and the community is very welcoming. The coaches do a really great job of teaching and instructing while also giving you space to prioritize your own goals and needs. They also provide many opportunities for you to examine your strengths and weaknesses and will always be considerate about accommodations and modifications. If you are looking for a space that is both competitive and compassionate, this is the place for you.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working out at the Vent for the past 18 months and highly recommend it. The coaches are really knowledgeable and thoughtful with their instruction. The overall focus of the gym on mobility and strength also aligns with my fitness goals. Anyone who is looking to start working out or is looking to boost their overall fitness level should come and try it out.

Fantastic experience: The best performance/fitness center.. Period... Full Stop... Bree and her awesome team of coaches know how to explain fitness in the easiest of terms. Very down to earth and so fun! I have been a regular for 18 months now which has helped me in all my sporting passions. I am now more fit and older. I hope to keep this trend going for 20 years!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member at the Vent since it opened and it has changed my life! I feel more fit and stronger than ever. The community is a lot of fun to be a part of as well. The people are friendly, encouraging and welcoming to everyone. The coaches are knowledgeable and take personal interest in your development. Really a fantastic environment to be a part of. Well worth the investment in your well-being. I would recommend it to anyone!

Fantastic experience: The Vent has been a life changer for my health and fitness! Thank you Coach Bree!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member for 3 years. I have been to several other CF gyms. Our coaches are the most attentive and knowledgeable!!

Fantastic experience: I owe my incredible transformation to owner/coach Bree and her awesome staff of highly trained, knowledgeable coaches here at Ventura’s best gym. 5 years ago I walked in, unsure of whether CrossFit would be a good fit for me, as I was overweight and getting older— I am grateful every day for taking those first steps, as I have finally found the kind of workouts that produce desired results, in a community of friendly, encouraging and inspiring fellow athletes of all ages and abilities. The Vent’s focus on proper human movement is upheld through its commitment to mobilization before and after each class, as well as coaching of proper technique during class. Additionally, I’ve learned so much about overall wellness, especially proper nutrition, hydration and quality sleep. I’ve steadily gained strength and mobility, free of injury, during my years here, and I look forward to continuing my fitness journey with my beloved Vent family. I highly recommend giving this gym a try.

Fantastic experience: As a Chiropractor for almost 20 years, I believe that having a strong healthy body is one of the greatest gifts that you can have in life. The Vent has been an integral part of my personal quest for health and fitness as well as a place that I can confidently refer my patients to. In fact, the owner, Bree Cochran, has been coaching me for over 10 years now! We have grown together as athlete and coach and I continue to admire her relentless pursuit of excellence and knowledge in her field. Truthfully, all of the coaches at the Vent are excellent; not only because of their knowledge and the fact that they hold us to higher standards of proper movement and form, but because they truly care about us members. Having had the opportunity to travel and visit some other CrossFit gyms, I can say that the facility and equipment at the Vent are top notch. I challenge anyone to find a cleaner gym! The addition of the outdoor area, the Yard, has been a huge asset to an already great facility. The community is supportive and welcoming to athletes of all levels and to people of all walks of life and I am proud and truly grateful to be a part of it. Functional fitness, mobility, strength, and endurance are lifelong pursuits which allow us to interface with the world that we live in and enjoy this life to its fullest. The Vent: Human Performance Center certainly has raised the standard and I have much love and gratitude for all that they do. My life has been enhanced by being a part of this community and that's why I have stuck around for as long as I have. I continue to be challenged by the workouts both physically and mentally and while new skills continue to be learned; it never gets easy. For anyone who is interested in taking their fitness to the next level, no matter what your starting point is, I highly recommend contacting the Vent. -Dr. Matt

Fantastic experience: Let’s say you’re not a hardcore CrossFit beast. Let’s say you haven’t been a gym member in nearly 2 decades, have a desk job hunched over on a computer all day, stopped your 10,000 steps a day during Covid, and this is all catching up with you with stiffness, back and neck pain, and lower endurance, …then check out the Vent. The Vent is welcoming. The Vent will work you to safely improve and get healthier. Sure - they have classes for existing CrossFit aficionados. But they also have classes for those that don’t want such a level of high intensity. Either due to, number of days you’ve walked the earth, fitness level, or someone recovering from an injury or previous beast intense work out. The coaches are professional, knowledgeable, encouraging, and keep a watchful eye for proper motion safety. Exercises can be modified if needed to keep you safe. Not just the coaches but other members are encouraging to spur each other along to be strong. It’s a positive place.

Fantastic experience: This is a F*%@%&g rad place to to workout! Having been a member of many gyms/boxes in several states, I can genuinely say The Vent is a top notch operation with great gear, members and staff. Coaching staff (Bree, AJ, Tyler, Liz, Mel, and Courtney) are attentive and provide concise, effective guidance. At the foundation of their practice is quality movement. Building on that they offer strength and conditioning sessions as well as focused strength programming that produces results! UPDATE!!! Still Rad! Bree Cochran and company continue to define the standard of what gyms/crossfit boxes should strive for! I'm genuinely proud that this business operates in my hometown. Truly leading from the front. Keep it up!

Fantastic experience: I started at The Vent over 5 years ago; it was supposed to be a short-term situation until my running injury healed… . However, I have learned and grown so much since joining “temporarily” that I consider the Vent a non-negotiable part of my life now. I thought I knew a lot about fitness prior to joining this community… but thanks to coming with a “humble and teachable” attitude, I have improved in basically every area. At 60 years old, this is pretty cool I can’t say enough about owner Bree Cochran. Her knowledge and dedication are above and beyond; she and her coaching team have created a gym and community for every size, shape, ability, and season of life.

Fantastic experience: Not your average CrossFit gym: The Vent is much more. The Vent is the type of gym/human performance center that makes you ask yourself, “where have you been all my life?!” Lol. The Vent and it’s staff do a phenomenal job of teaching you CF fundamentals and skills w/o any negativity or judgment, regardless of your fitness level. The staff give’s you the tools to be successful in the gym, feel great, and increase confidence. I was not a CF athlete before I joined the Vent and wasn’t sure what to think at first. I was referred by a colleague, was open to it and gave it a try. Boy am I glad I did bc I haven’t looked back. I struggled at first but quickly adapted and felt good while doing so. Not only have I improved in strength and gains, but I have learned and improved on specific Olympic lifts, gymnastics movements, mobility & recovery techniques, etc. that make me feel great and wanting more! Additionally, I have gained confidence that has carried over to my lifts and makes me feel better about lifts I had no idea how to do before. The coaches and other staff are great teachers, friendly, supportive, and just great human beings. Coach Bree and the Vent staff truly push you to be your best, regardless of fitness level or strength. They allow you to perform the appropriate workout needed (Rx, scaled, injured) but always try to challenge you to get better. The gym offers fundamental & specific skills classes, nutrition consultations (as needed), have physical therapists available for consultation, movement medicine classes for student-athletes, Open Gym, and more! Additionally the Vent has great equipment, lot’s of space, and a great community. The Vent gym members are friendly, super supportive, and make you want to push and be better everyday. Great overall atmosphere! The Vent is the place to be!

Fantastic experience: the Vent is consistently raising the standard in movement + fitness education. from daily WOD programming to special events, to seminars and continuing education for the coaches, the Vent ALWAYS has something going on!

Fantastic experience: The Vent is the BEST. Coach Bree and her staff individualize the workouts to fit anyone from teen to senior…. Novice to expert. Everyone is welcomed in and treated as family…and it feels like family from day 1. Workouts are always fun…. And challenging. My progress has been a byproduct of great coaching here. Bree also focuses on helping our community & small businesses. I love this one-of-a-kind gym! Well worth it.

Fantastic experience: Love The Vent! I get excellent coaching, modified or scaled workouts that work for my body and my issues, and we have an amazing community! I truly appreciate all the work the coaches do to support us!

Fantastic experience: The Vent has been home to me for 5+ years. It’s one of my favorite parts of my week and an important part of my sanity! Honestly, Bree and the Vent have transformed my health, education and my body - helping me help myself to be fit in body, mind and in movement. I love their focus on mobility and movement so that I move in a way that prevents injury in the gym and in life (moving things, standing more, running properly, etc) and promotes an overall awareness of how I am using my body. Bree is an innovative leader and coach and I love that there is always something new to try, even for those of us that have been around for many years. Coaches AJ and Tyler have also really impacted my ability to move well with great queues about a technique or kills - it never fails that when in stuck on something AJ says some funny like thing that clicks and helps me advance. I highly recommend the Vent to anyone looking to commit to a continuous improvement mindset in their fitness and long term lifestyle.

Fantastic experience: The VENT is a phenomenal gym and community. I wasn’t able to make classes based on my work schedule but that never stopped them from creating a great opportunity for me to be a part of the gym. The open gym was always available and never felt like I was being pushed out for the sake of classes going on at the same time. The trainers there are a great group of people who are focused on improving everyone’s fitness and well being. I started out at the gym setting up programming with Tyler and he helped me identify where I needed to improve and take care of my body and I couldn’t be happier! Lost 30 pounds during my time there and loved every minute of it.

Fantastic experience: Highest quality coaching in the area, without comparison. If you’re looking to change your life, and do it at the highest standard until you’re 110 years old, The Vent is where you need to be. From my vantage point as a physical therapist, the coaches here have a sharper eye for quality movement in the fitness setting than most PTs I know. Can’t speak highly enough about the entire crew. I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to spend time learning from them!

Fantastic experience: I have taken classes and more recently have been going to the open gym hours at the Vent. Bree and the Vent crew have been really accommodating for me since I can’t make it the the classes anymore. I can’t recommend the Vent enough if you just want to workout on your own.

Fantastic experience: This place is so much more than a gym, it’s a caring community. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and the members are welcoming and treat you life family.

Fantastic experience: The Vent is an education and training facility with some of the best coaching that you can find. It has one of the most welcoming and inclusive communities that I have witnessed at any gym. Coaches at The Vent are committed to educating their members on movement and performance so members can continue to enjoy and celebrate their fitness for their entire life.

Fantastic experience: If I could give them 10 stars, I would! The Vent has become a home away from home. The coaching staff are experienced, knowledgeable, and dedicated to their profession. They are equally as dedicated to their clients. The coaches focus on the whole human and all of the aspects that create strong and unceasing athletes of all levels. I don’t just show up to work out, I show up to be educated and trained in proper movement mechanics so I can move well through every day life. Their staff include physical therapists who helped me work through a major injury. Not only did I receive physical therapy at my gym, but the PT’s consulted and collaborated with my coaches so I could safely and effectively continue to train in general classes. The community is extremely welcoming and so much fun! I truly appreciate and love this inclusive community. A big thank you to this amazing place!

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym! I’ve been a member since The Vent opened and love the supportive community. The coaches are knowledgeable and create a fun and competitive environment.

Fantastic experience: 7 years! The Vent keeps me honest, humble and motivated. Also, the ‘education’ of The Vent experience is second to none.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love the education and attention to movement detail at The Vent as well as the strong emphasis on community and inclusivity.

Fantastic experience: As a 30 year veteran Sports Physical Therapist, I know a thing or two about movement. What The Vent Crew brings to the table regarding movement and fitness is hard to beat. They espouse education, community, and sustainability/longevity and do so with energy and enthusiasm. In my almost 60 years, I have never had a gym experience like this one. Top notch crew, top notch coaching/education, and top notch experience. I challenge another gym to match the three dimensional experience Bree Cochrane and her team create! Well Done!!

Fantastic experience: The community and coaches at The Vent saved many sanity during the pandemic! The owner, Bree, pivoted into Zoom classes immediately and we never missed a day of sweating and struggling together. She keeps the community safe in all aspects: we have a huge outdoor space, maintain distancing and the cleanliness practices are unmatched. I have always felt safe and valued at this gym. Being back in person is fantastic. The programming is constantly varied and the coaching is of the highest caliber. I learn something new every day!!!

Fantastic experience: The Vent is a supportive community where people are encouraged to work out safely within their limits. The coaches at The Vent prioritize modifying workouts to better cater to each person’s abilities versus performing prescribed workouts “just because.” I enjoy the skill workshops and community events offered at this gym. I recommend this gym for people who value fitness and working out with other people.

Fantastic experience: No bro gym here folks. This place preaches longevity, quality movements and overall well being above everything else. The coaches are knowledgeable and have all of the tools to keep you moving and healthy! Highly reccommended

Fantastic experience: 2022: UPDATE! Still giving this box the 5 stars they deserve. I’ve come back after a break due to a slew of things, including the pandemic, needing lots of support and patience to help me get back into the routine, The Vent did NOT disappoint! I have a real appreciation for the coaches meeting each client where they are. Thank you for making it easy to get back to a place where I can maintain consistency in fitness and nutrition. Best support system around! 2019: *****The Vent is awesome***** All of the coaches are knowledgeable and each one is interested in every persons success in reaching their goals. I have tried other boxes and this one is my jam. If you are interested in Crossfit (or a new box) then you should start (and end) your search right here. Just tell them the fastest person in the gym sent you :) (just thought I should use one last parentheses).

Fantastic experience: The Vent is a place of community, friendship, and strong humans. When I show up for a workout, I get so much more than just a workout...I get coaches and other members who support and care for me outside of just my gym life. I get educated on form, position, new skills, etc. I get stronger physically and mentally. This is a home away from home and I am SO grateful for all that The Vent provides!

Fantastic experience: I love The Vent! Been working out with Bree for over 10 years! There is a great outdoor as well as indoor space. Bree, all the coaches, & people are so encouraging and make you feel so welcome. All the workouts can be modified to each person’s abilities. I love my Vent fitness family!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend joining The Vent CrossFit gym. The staff and instructors do a good evaluation of your present mobility and abilities as well as your goals before you begin your fitness journey. The classes can be intense, but the instructors know to scale the workouts to your current ability levels. During workouts we're all encouraging of each other's efforts. After the first three months, I've made positive improvements to my strength and conditioning because of going to The Vent group classes. I've had some previous injuries before joining, and the instructors have been helping me work through them. I know I still have a ways to go to reach my goals, but I'm pleased with the progress I've made so far. I'm looking forward to workouts and the fun challenges they bring. Now after six months of training, my previous injuries are virtually non-existent (I don't want to jinx myself by writing they're completely gone). The strength and mobility in those joints are back to normal and getting better. My strength, conditioning, and athleticism haven't been this good in several years. I enjoy the workout variety and camaraderie the group classes bring. Again, I highly recommend 'The Vent' as a CrossFit gym to improve and maintain your health and fitness.

Fantastic experience: I have found my happy place. I've always been someone who enjoys getting up in the morning and working out, but The Vent gives me so much more than just a workout. I have found a new perspective on how to use my body more efficiently in all aspects of my life. The coaches there understand my goal of keeping my body healthy and strong so I cannot only really play with my young kids today but look forward to all the physical activities I will do with my future grandkids. And as a naturally competitive person, I was worried about the competition aspect of CrossFit, but I quickly discovered Vent members are about supporting each other and lifting each other up, and who can't use that at 5:00 in the morning? I love My Vent family and I'm so thankful to have found The Vent.

Fantastic experience: By far the most forward thinking movement practice. Best community and coaches. And coach AJ…

Fantastic experience: This community is something else! Having spent many years at a Globo-gym without results I decided to try functional fitness. The Vent has taught me so much. From nutrition to skill work, I decreased my body fat from 17.8% to 15.1% and gained 8.5 lbs of lean muscle mass. The coaches are seriously knowledgeable and want to make everyone the best version of themselves. The members are also so great! I believe I will only get better/stronger with their guidance.

Fantastic experience: Love this place! They have a huge outdoor space with every thing that you need. The coaches are super knowledgeable. The have modified my workouts to accommodate my shoulder injury. Wouldn’t trust any place else to care so much about my recovery.

Fantastic experience: Recently just joined the team, so far it’s been amazing! The coach’s are awesome! The coach’s actually coach, pushing everyone pass their comfort zone, making sure your doing the workouts properly, and most importantly being supportive! When it comes to the new covid mandates with mask, they are doing great. They are enforcing mask indoors but out doors no ( we are social distancing ) anyone of course has to choice to still wear one and some do :). They also do have us clean the equipment when we are done using them . The Vent is phenomenal, so glad I joined ! Wish I would of joined sooner !! One more thing on my first day (first group class), the other members who didn’t know who I was well they knew my name because when your new the coach’s introduce you to everyone. My first day though I was a bit shy, and while I was working out finishing up my last rep the other members cheering me on and being very supportive so not only are the coach’s great but also the members there as well!

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough about this amazing place and it’s coaches. The Vent is passionate about teaching quality movement and building a community of fun-loving, hard-working people. The workouts are challenging and dynamic and the coaches are educated and they truly care. I have made friends at this gym that I will cherish for life. So lucky to have found Coach Bree 8 years ago, and I have been with her ever since because I trust her and I believe she has the absolute best interest of all of her clients at the forefront of every decision that she makes.

Fantastic experience: The best fitness club and coaches I've experienced. Really. Bree, AJ, Tyler, Mel, David. They all Rock! Thank you for helping me meet my fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: Joining the VENT from my old gym there is a huge difference. Fundamentals!! Technique!! I didnt want to lose just weight and gain muscle but wanted to learn the proper ways and techniques for doing so. Loved my old gym!! But I felt I couldn't grow any further. I wanted to evolve and go to the next level. The VENT is the place where I can do that. The staff/coaches were very welcoming and knowledgeable from the go. Made the transition very easy. GYM is very CLEAN and has all the equipment needed. Work out times /classes will fit anyone's schedule.

Fantastic experience: I joined The Vent 3 weeks ago after working out at another local gym for 3 years. I was nervous about the transition to a new gym. What I found was a community of trainers and members that were friendly and supportive. What impressed me the most was the attention to proper form, safety, and overall mobility. I enjoy the variety of workouts, I love their outdoor gym space, and I appreciate the great workout I can get done in under an hour. All this adds up to create a place that motivates me to show up.

Fantastic experience: Seriously the best gym and community I have ever been apart of. I love the coaches at The Vent! They take the time to get to know every member and help them reach their goals. I have been to a lot of gyms in Ventura County and The Vent is truly the best one. I have never been the type of person who is excited about going to the gym but now that I am at The Vent I actually look forward to the workouts!

Fantastic experience: I've been here for almost three years and let me tell you my life has changed in the best of ways. The coaches are amazing and everyone there is like family to me. The way they handled the pandemic was extraordinary. They created zoom classes and remolded the whole gym in order to fit with Covid-19 guidelines. If you're considering coming to the Vent do it. I promise you won't regret it.

Fantastic experience: Great Instructions

Fantastic experience: Yesterday I stopped by The Vent and I was so impressed. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was that the gym was immaculate. Everything was perfectly organized and sparkling clean. I have been to a lot of gyms in my life, and this was the cleanest. Then I was immediatly greeted by Bree and she was so friendly and supportive, she made me feel like part of the family. If you are in Ventura, stop by The Vent, see their amazing facility and experience their fantastic coaching.

Fantastic experience: Great place to get your sweat on with great trainers. They will definitely work you out right.

Fantastic experience: I love the Vent for many reasons. Fitness has been a huge part of my life, I was a soccer player from the years 5 to 25 and was always in shape. That being said, I didn’t realize my blind spots in my body and where I was lacking major strength. When I met Bree and the team, I had my reservations about Crossfit, but soon realized this was much bigger than being able to say you could lift heavy weight over your head or deadlift like the pros. The sheer fact that they focus in on, not only your athleticism, but mobility, and mindset/belief was/is such an eye opener for me, as most gyms just show you how to do something and then tell you to go do it without any foundational training. I have heard a lot of injuries due to Crossfit, but at the Vent, they work through truly building skill, muscle, and proper movement so that injuries are not a norm. If you are thinking of a place that will not only help you up your fitness level, but your mental toughness and your ability to do hard things with others in the community, this is your place, hands down. Like I said above, I thought I was fit playing soccer all my life until I realized how much I needed Crossfit to be full body fit.

Fantastic experience: Could not be more happy at a gym then I am at Yhe Vent. The coaches and people at the gym are awesome. Everyone is so supportive and kind. They all make you feel at home. The WODs are amazing and will push you every time. Will totally miss The Vent when it’s time for me to go back to my home in Maryland. Thank you for everything.

Fantastic experience: I joined The Vent about a year ago and this is been one of the most renewal experience in my life. I have been transformed not only physically but internally by believing in myself that I can do it. The coaches have been always encouraged me and help me to be strong and believe that I can do it. CrossFit can be intimidating but this is a community that help each other no matter the level of fitness you are. The challenge has help me to understand the relationship that I have with food and has help me to transform myself not only physically but emotionally. I have learned to be more in tune with my body

Fantastic experience: As someone that has always been intimidated by gyms and working out I have finally found a place I can actually look forward to going to!

Fantastic experience: I started working out at the Vent 5 months ago and love it. 5am is the only time that fits into my schedule as a working new mom. I love that the community is so encouraging, the scalability of the workouts and how smart the staff is. I feel confident that no matter where I am with my fitness they will challenge me to get better.

Fantastic experience: The training is awesome - coaches meet you at any level to make your experience the best. Like a family! Great programming and broad focus to include mobility, strength, form and overall success. You will never be bored. I recommend it for any age, any stage of your life. They will surely make you have fun and feel good about what you can accomplish in one hour.

Fantastic experience: Great hands on training with knowledgeable and caring coaches

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at The Vent for a little over a year now. Since then, the coaches have put myself and other members through numerous programs. These programs include gymnastics, metabolic conditioning, strength training and just recently strength endurance. I cannot stress enough how much effort these coaches put into everyone that walks in. They make sure everyone is safe and has fun regardless if your someone looking to compete or if your just someone trying it out for the first time. It is because of these different programs I feel fitter and stronger now than I was in high school. Plus the way they coach everyone to move with safety in mind crosses over to how I perform at work. I work in Public Service. Do yourself a favor and come see what it’s all about. All are welcome!!

Fantastic experience: The Vent is an amazing place to workout and get fitter and stronger! The coaches (Bree, Lori & AJ) are awesome. They are awesome at scaling a workout for any “issues” you may be dealing with. They are definitely there help you be your best you!

Fantastic experience: I joined the Vent in January and can honestly say it has made a huge difference, the workouts are challenging and tough but Bree, AJ and Lori are very knowledgeable, work with you and coach you in areas that you lack and help you improve. From my first day everyone was so welcoming and I continue to see that welcoming spirit for new members, it's not just a gym but seriously a family, everyone cares about everyone else.

Fantastic experience: A great gym! Bree, AJ and Lori are focused on mobility and personal fitness. Love the team and atmosphere. Could not be more happy with a gym.

Fantastic experience: Not your typical gym. The coaches really care about proper form and try to customize their workout to work around any issues you are having. Such a great place!

Fantastic experience: Coaches are great. They have a passion for what they do. It’s more then a gym it’s a community and they love their community.

Fantastic experience: Love love love this place. It's such a great community, and has totally changed how I view working out

Fantastic experience: The coaches are absolutely amazing. They truly want you to improve and make sure your form is good. I love the focus in mobility as well.

Fantastic experience: I have learned so much from Coach Bree & Coach Alex! The Vent is not only a great place to workout, it is also a great community of like minded friends encouraging each other & having fun while working hard to achieve our fitness goals & challenge ourselves!

Fantastic experience: I am 49 years old and just started working out again after a five-year down period. I've never really been the "gym type." I tried The Vent as part of a Whole Life Challenge for eight weeks. I am never leaving! I was nervous about working out in a gym with bad technique and injuring myself. There is no chance of that here. These coaches know their stuff and make "doing it right" a priority. Even though it is a group class, you get the individual attention you need for a safe and effective workout. I gained four pounds of muscle in eight weeks and feel stronger than ever--without even so much as a muscle strain. I completely trust the coaches understand my abilities and push me to really challenge myself. The whole community is supportive and motivating. There are members from all age groups and athletic abilities. I actually look forward to the classes and feel "off" when I miss a day. I plan on rocking 50 with The Vent's help! Thanks in advance, Bree and Alex!

Fantastic experience: Far and away the best place I have ever trained. Hands down. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable. They focus on your overall health and movement, painstakingly perfecting and correcting you every single time. For years, I thought I knew what I was doing. Wrong! I now run faster, lift heavier, and endure longer than I ever have - with correct movements that protect my body. At The Vent, everyone is welcome, from seasoned athletes to first-timers. The atmosphere and community here is amazingly supportive and people will always celebrate your successes and encourage you in your failures. I never thought I would actually be happy to get up at 5:30am and talk to people! This place is the best!

Fantastic experience: This is by far the hottest, most dedicated training center in ventura county. I came to the vent to become more confident and a better athlete, and the trainers did not fail to deliver. If you come try it you will not be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: This place is special. Period. The owners are professional, health minded and 100% willing to put in the extra time for there clients -- assuming you are willing too. "Raising the standard" isnt simply a figure of speech or plain rhetoric... it's a way of life at The Vent. I've used the mechanics I've been taught at this Human Performance Center, harnessing the metabolic conditioning, mobility training and easy access to solid and credible training suppprt to help me complete my first disntace/endurance race training and look forward to further strength building sessions in the months and years ahead! Bree is a savvy, no nonsense pro who will work your core into the ground -- if you let her -- and you'll thank her for it when you are done with a "Vent" workout. Alex's training provides a clear vision towards "goal making" with a focus on learning to "enjoy the grind"! My time and modest investment at The Vent has helped me get more comfortable, in an unconventional manner... to see the opportunity of "Performance" that is right in front of me!! I'm very pleased I chose this team to better myself! Beyond the staff... the facility is beautiful, well thought out and super easy for me to access in the morning or afternoons! I'm a "newbie" to fitness.... The Vent has shown me how to PERFORM.

Fantastic experience: Best gym experience I've ever had. The coaches are fun, supportive and extremely knowledgeable. If you're looking to try CrossFit but don't want to feel intimidated, this is your place. Thank you Alex and Bree!

Fantastic experience: Bree and Alex are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They create a fun environment and a very welcoming atmosphere. I have seen great results and have had a blast along the way. Hands down BEST. GYM. EVER!!!
